Menu Import

Drupal Modules - Sun, 05/10/2008 - 2:27pm

This module allows users to batch-arrange existing nodes into a menu structure. Modules like Node Import allow you to easily add large amounts of content to your Drupal site. This module goes hand-in-hand with Node Import by allowing you to upload a CSV file that tells Drupal how all these nodes should be organized. This can be very useful for quickly "scaffolding" a site by setting up primary navigation menus.

For an example of the file format, assume you have several nodes that you want arranged like so:

Node1
- Node2
- Node3
-- Node4
Node5
- Node6
Node7

Your CSV file would look like this:
Node1, ,
, Node2,
, Node3,
, ,Node4
Node5, ,
, Node6,
Node7

When you upload the CSV file you can select whether you would like this structure added to the Primary Links menu or a new menu.
